But I am CERTAIN, 100% certain that you will have what you want soon. You are a hard worker and an excellent mother, not to mention an amazing wife, and you are making sacrifices now that will pay huge dividends later. I promise. Hang in there, even if it's only by the slimmest of threads. Dig deep, you have it in you, and I know you can do it. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe again. I believe in you. And I really believe you will have your dreams fulfilled. Until then... lots and lots of love, hugs and support.colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220059390118194176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-70250972613123773262009-10-02T17:15:09.911-05:002009-10-02T17:15:09.911-05:00I'm so sorry this happened to you!

A buyer will come through who is willing to buy the home regardless.<br /><br />I can't believe that you weren't told to be present for the inspection in 2000. That's so odd, I'd really look into that, you may have a case. Did you receive a copy of the inspection? They are supposed to provide you with one. We've used Pillar to Post for both of our inspections and not only was it an inspection, it was a "How To" guide throughout our entire home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-91686955354854378602009-09-29T10:35:37.467-05:002009-09-29T10:35:37.467-05:00I am really sorry that you got such a disappointme...I am really sorry that you got such a disappointment. I have had months and years where it seemed as if nothing would ever work out the way it should, but in the end it always does. I will say, that even if you have a small house, you can still add to your family! We have a 3 bedroom and are about to have baby number 4. Sometimes it seems you can't turn around without bumping into someone or something, but most of the time that is a good thing. There's never a dull moment.

For some reason or other, it's just never EASY. That said, when it's RIGHT - when it's what's meant to be - THEN it will all just click right into place.<br /><br />You have a dream. It's out there.
